football is Rubbish

UFC was pretty good, then they spoilt it with loads of rules and stuff.

what rules?
I can think of...
no gouging (important if you ever want to see)
no kicking to the head while they are on the ground (important if you want to live)
no striking to the back of the head (imortant if you want to live)
no low blows (important if you want kids)

I think the rules are just right. You can still sit on someone and batter them with an elbow attack then make them submit via a naked choke....... what did it used to be like?

Those fair enough, it's rounds and points I don't like.

Football is great to watch, you appreciate it and understand it much more if you've played it at any organised level.
Not sure why I have been drawn to defend it.

If we want an argument about pointless viewing, let's look at soaps shall we? Eastenders? Neverbloodyenders more like! What's that about? Why do people feel compelled to never miss an episode when it never ends and just goes round and round in circles anway, and why the hell is "everyone talking about it"? Talk about a waste of time. Anyway, "ya wanna cappa tea?"

Yeah there's something we can all slag off!

The only reason people watch them is because there's nothing going on in their own lives worth mentioning.

I havnt read all 5 pages so I dont know where the post potentially escalated too, but..........I dont like football

I hate the hype around it.
I hate the violence that stereotypicaly comes with it.
I hate the nancy type falling around that is involved with most games I have ever watch.
I hate that players can fight on the field, and although get fined by the FA police are rarely involved.
I hate the fact that they get payed so much (Jealous? Of course I am lol )
